Re: Voter Laws

I am all for a "national" voter ID, not 50 different laws. Democrats are NOT in charge of these states like VA, PA, MI, OH, WI, AZ, TX, FL, SC, NC, GA, AL, MS, LA, AR, and so on. Since affecting our Nation's time-line in 2000, the SCOTUS Corruptus has done it again.

Its just that to me not having ID pretty much speaks to being a total loser, but hell, we're a nation of losers so I won't lose any sleep over it.

You can call your statements "fact" all you want, as many times as you want - doesn't make it so.

You can't name a single jursidiction in the US where you are not required to identify yourself before you're allowed to vote - not one. The level of identification may very, and that's what some jurisdictions are trying to tighten, but to suggest you can simply register and then walk into a polling both with no identifcation and it's up to the polling officials to prove a negative as opposed to you proving a positive is asinine.

Go back to your original statement and stop trying to words in my mouth. You aren't any good at it.
